The Education Abroad Network (TEAN): Thailand - Summer in Bangkok
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I learned so much about the culture, and about myself. This program taught me time management and dealing with different people. I also learned to appreciate the life I have and would go back in a heartbeat. It was so worth all the time and effort to go.

The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
